Compensation for lost baggage

If despite all efforts your baggage is not found, Air France can offer compensation. According to the
Montreal convention,
this compensation can be paid up to approximately €1,295*. To obtain this compensation, please complete the
online claim form.
If you have already completed an online declaration form for the loss of your baggage, please indicate the file number that you received. Otherwise, we will provide you with a tracking number to keep.

Please note: when checking in baggage, you can make a special declaration if the value of your property exceeds the maximum compensation provided (€1,295*). Depending on the difference, you will be compensated at its true value in case of loss.

* Compensation is counted in Special Drawing Rights (SDR). The SDR is the currency used by the International Monetary Fund. 1,131 SDR converts to approximately €1,295 (this conversion rate varies according to fluctuations in currency).
